The simultaneous advance of the two Ming armies in Satsuma Domain has caused great panic to the Japanese here.
The resistance everywhere was only weak.
Perhaps Shimazu Mitsuhisa had a good idea, concentrating all his forces and launching a decisive battle with the enemy with Tsurumaru Castle as the center! However, he ignored one issue: the reaction of the Japanese people in the Satsuma Domain.
These ordinary Japanese people do not know the high-level decisive battle intentions. In their view, without the protection of the army, they feel abandoned...
Because of this, the team of Japanese traitors headed by Taro Matsumoto also began to grow rapidly...
At the beginning of October, Tsurumaru Castle was already in sight... At this time, attacks from the Japanese were obviously becoming more frequent. All this meant that a war was coming...
On the eighth day of October, the two expeditionary armies on the left and right completed their combined forces.
The Tiger Guards, Major Shiweide's Regiment, the Pirate Alliance... all the crusade forces have been assembled. Standing on the top of the tower of Tsurumaru Castle, it seems that you can already see the flying flag of the Ming Dynasty!
And the Shimazu family finally showed their ferocious fangs.
A large number of sporadic troops continued to harass and fight, giving the Ming army no peace for a moment. At the same time, 800 Japanese bandits, commanded by Shigemae Suzumae, a retainer of the Shimazu family, also began to take the initiative to attack.
Diao Yefu's attack tactics have already begun... What Suzumae Shigeyuanpo has to do now is to find the weakness of the Ming army, then attack it, and finally lead the Ming army to their ambush location.
This tactic seems very simple. It has been performed many times during the so-called Warring States Period in Japan, but the Shimadzu family is not worried about the enemy seeing through their intentions.
The core of this tactic is that even if the enemy has a clear understanding of the Shimazu family's purpose, in order to successfully complete the assembly and carry out the final attack, they must do everything possible to defeat this force that lures the enemy.
Moreover, Suzumae Shigebu's attack did play a certain role. They used their full familiarity with the terrain to successfully attack a transport unit of the Ming Army. As a result, two Ming Army artillery pieces were destroyed, and the Ming Army reinforcements
After arriving, the front part of the bell had successfully left the battlefield... It was like a fly buzzing in his ears..." When he saw the two artillery pieces destroyed by the Japanese, Ding Yunyi couldn't help but feel
He frowned.
They are indeed as annoying as flies.
If you wave your hand to kill them, they will fly away quickly. But once you leave them alone, these flies will come back again.
They can't beat you, but they can disgust you to death... They are very familiar with the terrain." Huangfu Yunjie, who followed him to land on the island, also seemed a little helpless: "As soon as we heard the news that the transport team was attacked, we rushed there immediately, but
It was still a step too late. In addition to the destruction of two artillery pieces, more than twenty brothers were killed and captured, and such attacks are still increasing... Their intention is nothing more than to lure us into an ambush circle." Ding Yunyi said coldly.
Staring at the marching map coldly, he said: "What are the arrangements for Tsurumaru Castle?"
"Go back to the main town." Song Baocai, the second-level commander of the Golden Blade Guards, came up and said: "Shimazu Mitsuhisa and his younger brother Shimazu Tadayaro are the generals, stationed at the rear, and Suzumae Shigeonbu is the forward general. All participating personnel
More than five thousand people.”
Ding Yunyi glanced at Hisao Shimazu who came with the main force: "Who are these two people?"
Shimazu Hisao hurriedly said: "Lord of the town, Tadayo is my third brother. He has won Mitsuhisa's trust for his calmness in times of crisis. Suzumae Shigebu is an important minister of our Shimazu family. He is famous for his bravery. Now Mitsuhisa controls The two of them were sent out at the same time. I guess they wanted to have a decisive battle with the Lord of the Headquarters... Ding Yunyi snorted in his nose: "Are you known for your bravery? Our current problem is that if we cannot defeat the front part of the bell, the entire main force will not be able to defeat it." Complete the final assembly. Open the front of the bell first! He wants me to be fooled? I will be fooled by him! He set up an ambush circle, so I just rushed into his ambush circle! Huangfu Yunjie!"
"exist!"
"Once I break into the enemy's encirclement. When can your cavalry units spread out on both wings?"
"Spread the wings?" Huangfu Yunjie was startled for a moment, and then he understood what the general town meant: "Does the general town want to use itself as a bait to lure out all the enemies, and then use the high mobility of our cavalry to beat up the Japanese pirates? ?”
"Yes, that's what I mean, bait for bait!"
Ding Yunyi looked serious and determined: "As for the bait, Suzumae Shigebu's bait is far less attractive than mine. Once I fall into their ambush, Shimazu Tadayō will definitely rush out at all costs. At that time, I will be the Tiger Guard." If the cavalry and infantry spread their wings at the same time and charge fiercely at the enemy, Shimazu Tadayō will be defeated without a doubt!"
Before Huangfu Yunjie could speak, Zheng Zhifeng said at the side: "In the main town, the Shimazu family's army is known as 'the strongest army in the world in Satsuma'... Huangfu Yunjie was also worried: "In the main town, although this plan is feasible, , but the prerequisite is that the team commanded by the main town must be able to persist until the arrival of reinforcements. Moreover, in order for Shimazu Tadayaro to be fooled, there should not be too many people around the main town...five hundred people are enough." Ding Yunyi said with a smile. "Huangfu, have you forgotten the bloody battle in Yingzhou? Zhang Xianzhong's tens of thousands of people were helpless against hundreds of my cavalry. Now that we are fully armed and have strong reinforcements on both wings, what can the Japanese bandits do to me?"
"Since the main town has made up its mind, how dare we not die in service!" Huangfu Yunjie said loudly without any further hesitation: "As long as the main town can hold on for an hour, reinforcements will definitely arrive!"
"I'll give you just one hour!" At this time, Ding Yunyi was full of pride: "Diaoye Fu is famous in Japan and has never been defeated. Today, my Ming Dynasty's elite are here to see who is more powerful, Diao Yefu, or my fierce and fierce cavalry to charge at the enemy. Brave! Pass the order... The generals immediately became solemn, and Ding Yunyi said slowly: "Wang Wei led three hundred troops to follow me, all infantry. There are two reinforcements on the left and right. Huangfu Yunjie and Hou Lu each led an army. The dragon fights the main force of the Queen's army, and Shi Weide follows the rear army as fire support. Mansoura, select two hundred musketeers to join my forward and listen to my call!"
"I accept your orders!" the generals said in unison.
Ding Yunyi touched the dragon's teeth on his waist and said: "Everyone, this is the time to break the thief. When all my firearms arrive, I will bombard Tsurumaru Castle and bloodbath the Shimazu family. Revenge for the waves!"
"Bombard Tsurumaru Castle, bloodbath the Shimazu family, and avenge the waves!"
Those earth-shattering cries made Shimazu Hisao couldn't help but shudder. He was scared, but he was glad that he had joined the ranks of the Ming army in time. Otherwise, he would have been among the bloodbath... ...Benxiao neighed, and it seemed to be more eager to join the battlefield than its master.
The battle flags of the Ming Army were raised one after another, but the most dazzling and eye-catching one was the battle flag known to the world:
The brave and loyal tiger guards!
"Sir, the Thousand Army Troop is here!" Duan San'er strode forward, holding up the Thousand Army Troop and shouted loudly.
Ding Yunyi took it.
The thousand-army sword in his hand defeated the Jinlu in Liaodong; the dragon's teeth in his waist were invincible in the Central Plains. And now, this sword and sword will show their elegance on the Japanese islands.
Three hundred infantrymen and two hundred musketeers have been assembled. At the front of the team is a general wearing silver armor. This general once entered and exited nine times in Liaodong, and also fought bloody battles in the Central Plains battlefield:
Ding Yunyi!
He never cared that this silver armor would become the most eye-catching target on the battlefield, and he never cared that it would become the focus of the enemy's attacks.
He looked up at the battle flag, and then said calmly: "Let's go!"
Bait versus bait!
Suzumae Shigebu is nothing more than a small bait. But Ding Yunyi's bait is so big that the Japanese are willing to do anything for him... In the main town, there are a large number of spies on both sides." Wang Wei came up.
Said in a low voice.
Ding Yunyi smiled: "Don't alarm them." Suddenly he pointed in front: "Have you seen that village?"
Wang Wei looked forward and saw a small village with rising smoke. It was early in the morning, or the Japanese in the village had just gotten up. They had no idea that an enemy force was approaching.
"Come in!" Ding Yunyi said coldly: "Burn this village and make a noise to let all the Japanese know that this is the team commanded by me, Ding Yunyi!"
"Yes!" Wang Wei responded loudly, pulled out his sword and said sternly: "Brothers, follow me and fight into the village!"
Countless troops suddenly appeared outside the village, immediately breaking the tranquility of this small village.
The muskets roared aimlessly, and the soldiers waved flags and shouted. This village, which had no ability to resist at all, was quickly occupied by the Ming army.
Fire soon rose in the village, and battle flags kept flashing in the fire.
A majestic war horse appeared, carrying a knight covered in silver armor. The knight on the horse shouted loudly: "Ding Yunyi led the tiger to defend and massacre the village, thinking that I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, would be avenged!"
"Ding Yunyi led the tiger guards to massacre the village, thinking that the people of the Ming Dynasty would hate us!" The soldiers shouted one after another.
The Japanese fled in panic in the flames, wailing loudly, but what they encountered were the ruthless swords and guns of the Ming army soldiers...
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army did not care how many Japanese they killed, nor how many Japanese they escaped. They had only one purpose:
Tell Japan that Huben Guards are here and Ding Yunyi is here!
The burning fire also fell into the eyes of Suzumae Shigeenbu. This forward general of the Shimazu family who was ordered to continuously attack the Ming army should keep up with this small but powerful Ming army.
After that, I felt a little strange. What kind of army dared to show off like this?
"Sir Suzumae, the Ming Dynasty people are burning down our village!" His right-hand man, Takeshita Oden, couldn't help shouting: "Sir Suzumae, please give the order, otherwise our people will be killed by them.
of!"
"Don't be anxious." Suzumae Shigebu looked very calm at this time: "Takeshita, go and find a way to bring a few villagers here... This matter is not difficult to do. Many Japanese in the village died in the attack.
Next, a large number of Japanese people fled from the village.
When the words "Hu Ben Wei, Ding Yunyi" came out of the mouths of these villagers who had survived the disaster, Suzumae's eyes suddenly lit up: "Who is it? Is it really Ding Yunyi?"
"Yes, it's Ding Yunyi!" Takeshita Oden replied with certainty.
All calmness disappeared without a trace, and Suzumae Shigeyōpo's eyes revealed a blazing light like a beast!
Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi! That Ding Yunyi actually came in person... This is the only enemy of the Shimazu family. As long as he can be killed, the Ming army will collapse without a fight!
"Sama Suzumae, what are you waiting for? The best opportunity is right in front of you!"
Takeshita Oden's repeated urgings made Suzumae Shigeyōpo regain his due calmness: "Takeshita, I heard that Ding Yunyi is known for his bravery and is called the first brave general of the Ming Dynasty. They
Although his number is not as good as ours, we may not be his opponents... Takeshita Oden disagrees.
There are 800 warriors here. How can they still defeat the 400 to 500 Ming troops?
Suzumae Shigemo thought carefully for a while: "Come here, please immediately send someone to report to Lord Shimazu Tadayō, saying that we have captured the troops commanded by Ding Yunyi personally and are preparing to launch an attack. As long as the attack goes well, once the attack
If it’s unfavorable, then we’ll find ways to introduce him into the general’s ambush circle… Yes!”
Suzumae Shige took a deep breath: "Gentlemen, killing Ding Yunyi is far better than killing thousands of Ming troops. Amaterasu has put such a good opportunity in front of us.
What are we waiting for?"
The eyes of the eight hundred Japanese thieves were beating with fanaticism.
"Now, Ding Yunyi is in front of us!" Ling Qianzhong stepped forward and suddenly raised his voice: "Everyone, please follow me and work hard to kill the enemy!"
The roar of "Huhu" came from the mouths of these Japanese thieves, and Suzumae stepped far away and suddenly shouted:
"Kill for the Shimazu family!"
"For the Shimazu family, kill... When these calls came from outside the village, a smile appeared on the corners of Ding Yunyi's lips. He knew that he had succeeded.
With his piece of bait, he successfully attracted those greedy beasts. Looking at the blazing fire in the village, he slowly raised the Qianjungan in his hand:
"For the Ming Dynasty, kill!"
"For the Ming Dynasty, kill!"
That was the cry of five hundred Ming soldiers. This cry shook the heaven and earth. They had nothing to be afraid of. The person commanding them was Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi, who never knows what failure is, never knows what fear is, is invincible and invincible!
